This burial ground originally served the early settlers of the Deer Creek area who began moving here about 1848. The earliest known grave is that of Thomas D. Stephenson (1848-1857). The eight-year-old son of I.N. Stephenson (d. 1883) who came to Tarrant County in the 1850’s.
Today, the Crowley Cemetery has one thousand and seventy-seven graves.
There are ninety-six graves of known veterans. The Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War are represented.
There are 120 graves dating prior to 1900. The oldest grave tombstone is inscribed, “Thomas D. son of I. N. and Lucy Stephenson born July 24, 1848 died February 20, 1857. All things that we loved and cherish like our selves must fade and perish.” Another son died in 1860 and a daughter in 1864. A single four-sided tombstone marks all three of these Stephenson graves. The second oldest grave is that of Tabitha Walker who died in 1857 and is identified by an almost illegible sandstone marker.
